As founder and CEO of Bluecrane, Inc. (bluecrane), and on behalf of our entire bluecrane team, I would like to thank you for your online visit. I know how valuable your time is, and I appreciate the opportunity to exchange useful ideas and information.

Perhaps you already know that bluecrane is a management consulting company specializing in serving the Public Sector. Hopefully this website explains more about how we serve our valuable client partners. A partial list of our services includes strategic planning, portfolio management, project management, project oversight and quality assurance, requirements development, and procurement assistance.

Visitors to our site often tell me they are impressed with bluecrane's list of clients, as well as the sampling of success stories in which we describe the completion of projects for such clients as the various departments within the State of California, State of Oregon, State of Washington, City of Los Angeles, Port of Los Angeles, City of Olympia, Washington and Contra Costa County, to name only a few.

I tell them that we are indeed privileged to work alongside these client partners, and that no matter whether our services are engaged for relatively small planning projects or management/oversight of multi-million dollar project implementations, bluecrane takes the same careful professional approach, and strives to deliver the highest level of personalized service possible toward the success of each project. We are not a "body shop" and we work hard to deliver specialized hands-on management consulting from bluecrane's professionals who believe in and practice bluecrane's commitment to quality, excellence, and personal service. Our dedicated professionals bring decades of management expertise to each project.

The current fiscal crisis that engulfs almost all Public Sector entities is a test of resolve. In the midst of these difficult times, it is important that we work with our leaders to exert a degree of control over our destiny. bluecrane is currently working at the highest levels of a number of Public Sector organizations to assist the leadership of those entities in identifying "what must be preserved" and what can be built upon, rather than focusing solely on what must be cut. By focusing on essential, foundational elements that are tied to a long-term vision, Public Sector organizations can continue to make forward progress during these difficult times.

During the recent period of fiscal challenges, bluecrane has applied its skills and talents in governance and project portfolio management to assist Public Sector entities in their grants administration efforts. While this is only one area of our work, it is worth highlighting our unique combination of expertise and experience that has led to success in grants management and administration for our clients. We provide our clients with an overarching management approach to the entire grants lifecycle that most grants consulting firms do not have the background or expertise to provide. We help our clients align their grants strategy with their business strategy — and not just in the pursuit of new grants, but also in every phase of the grants lifecycle from advocacy, grants seeking, application, acceptance, project implementation, and eventual grant close-out.

If bluecrane can be of service to you and your organization, I'd love to hear from you. I also welcome your comments and questions at our contact us form or call me at (310) 792-6243.

Thanks again for this visit,
Allen Mills
Founder and CEO
